Abstract
A housing for a display device is disclosed. The housing includes a back plate configured to be deformable to change its curvature; and at least one curvature retaining unit located on a first side of the back plate that is convex when the back plate is bent. Each curvature retaining unit includes a plurality of supporting members arranged in a row, a first side of each of the supporting members is pivotably mounted to the back plate, and each curvature retaining unit has a non-supporting state and a supporting state. In the non-supporting state of the curvature retaining unit, the back plate is in a flat state; and in the supporting state of the curvature retaining unit, two opposite sides of adjacent supporting members abut against each other such that the back plate is in a bent shape. Moreover, a display device having the housing is disclosed.
